The Pulses of Rio

Music is the essence of Rio encompassing rock, old-school bossa nova, hip-hop, funk and Brazil's many local panaches. Beyond everything, there's samba, which is a fast-moving style of music with African inspirations and a contagious beat that is identical with Rio. It can heard all over the city, but the real essence of samba exist in in Lapa, a jumpy red-light region that offers plentiful live music galleries and a massive street party that lures party animal from all walks of life. Talking of Carnival, Rio knows how to party. Whether you describe it joie de vivre, Lebensfreude or lust for life, Cariocas have it in scoops. Carnaval is the most apparent demonstration of this festive life.

The shopping strands of Rio

Make sure to pick the metropolis’s famed beachwear. For the most fashionable bikinis, aim to Lenny. For men, Blue Man is a necessity, whether you favor a silky and compact suit or one printed with crackers. Do not limit yourself to swimwear and taste fine chocolates of Sequim. For furniture collector, head to Mercado Moderno, with their craftily organized Brazilian and international antiques. Havaianas, now an international fad, offers you to choose just one of nearly 100 colorful rubber flip flops.

Varieties in food and drink of Rio

Rio’s feasting site has developed much more urbane than the churrascarias (with grilled meats) and low-key botecos (bars with food). Topnotch cooks are generating stimulating fusion cuisine with Brazilian stimuli. Real gourmands should not oversight Oro, which species an elaborate tasting menu from the award-winning Carioca chef. The metropolis’s Japanese eating sight is worth sampling, too. For masterpieces, do not forget to aim for Porcão, which is a Rio de Janeiro cafeteria.

Best Time to Go

The finest time to visit Rio is from December through March i.e. Brazil’s summer months. September through November i.e. spring is also a decent time, with fevers in the 70s, and slight rain. If you are comfortable with crowds, February is Carnival time. Peak season tracks from December to March when Rio is festive, expensive and burning. To avoid the masses and greater prices, visit from May to September.

Transportation

Rio’s metro system is unpolluted, safe, and the most suitable way to get around. Buses are inexpensive but tend to be jam-packed.
